Why would you want to run a tire that small?

Kuhmo and Michelin make that size as well. Kuhmo is the cheapest I found. $80 each on http://www.tirerack.com.

If you want to run those tires, that's totally cool, but be aware your speedometer will be off by about 8% (it will read higher than you are actually traveling). Just don't ____ everyone off by driving below the speed limit because your speedometer is reading too high.

putting extra miles on your odo , getting worse gas mileage , losing top end speed. whatever works. and that small will look funny as hell in the wheel arches.

I am already running 195/50/15, so I already know about the speed change and the gas. as far as the wheel space I have about a 4inch drop so it will not look bad.

4 inch drop or not the overall size of the wheel in the fender cutout. and this new 195/45 will be even smaller , and offset your speedo , and mileage off even more.


now i know you all think we are retards for using correct sized wheel diameter's but what is your reasoning behind such a small diameter wheel/tire combo ?

My reason is b/c I WANT TO!!!!! if I traveled a lot or cared then those would be real good reasons, but I don't care about the gas mileage if I did I would not have cut off my cat or put on the header or anything like that.
